It is time to write. It rained yesterday! It has been a hot summer with a number of fires started. So what a blessing to have rain! Thank You Lord! And how nice to blog again! I recently read that to those who like to write, writing is like breathing...you must breathe and you must write! So again thank You Lord for this blog. My brother-in-law in Spain blogs and in Spanish and this reminded me to blog more. Just some happy recent times! We had our annual family camping trip August 20-23, 2015, at Lake of the Woods. Pictured left to right: Bridget Park, Josh, Priscilla & David Dutton, Justin Park, Wanda & David, Dan & Christen and baby Joshua, Dave & Suzy Brown and Sydney, Terell & Marilyn, Kathie & Jon, Jacob and his girlfriend Samantha Allgood, friend Bryan Thompson, Kate, Deb & Ben, and Collin and Tyler in front.

Hi! I found a good word for all you busy moms getting ready for another school year! It could work for any of us! "New year, new wardrobe!  Organize a clothing swap among your friends. Considering how quickly kids outgrow their clothes, you're likely to find gently worn clothing [or even some with the tags still attached!] that your children will love. Last year's flannel shirt may become your son's favorite fashion statement. Scoring even a couple pairs of jeans can save you time and money shopping." From Healthetimes, Issue 2, Vol. 8, 2015
